Being Stuck In A Place Of Hurt

Another life lesson learned.

Being Stuck In A Place Of Hurt

It's kind of like the song... The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script. That's how I feel constantly.

I met this boy on Tinder because I am that classy girl, and he was perfect. And when I mean perfect, I mean perfect. Let's say his name was Todd. Todd was the perfect man you could ever think of, sweet, nice, hot, and sensitive. He was Prince Charming. Before we begin, let me tell you some background info about myself. I have been in two or three serious relationships, and I thought this was the one I was looking for.

We ended up meeting and let me tell you oh man I knew he was the one, we continued to hang out and then he met my parents and they loved him...he was a total family man. What I thought wasn't going to be a thing happened, me and Todd were always together, he was always texting or calling me and we would even FaceTime each other at night and fall asleep together. It was beginning to look up for me after years of being abused mentally and physically and I was just ready for something real and something to make me happy. I thought I had found what I was looking for in Todd. Things started getting serious and I became a little suspicious about Todd's ex girlfriend, (we can call her Taylor) Todd and Taylor had dated before for 4 years and I felt this weird sense like something was wrong. Todd randomly would bring her up and constantly tell me everything was okay and that he didn't have any feelings for her and that he hated her for what she did to him. So I shrugged it off, I should not have done that. I should have listened to my gut and what it was telling me, which was telling me to get out of this relationship now and to do it fast. Of course, me being me, I didn't listen. We continued to talk and to be happy but something was wrong. On 9/28/2016 in the morning, I figured out what was wrong. Todd and I had barley talked all day- which wasn't really normal but happened at times.

I got a message around 3 in the afternoon from Taylor's roommate... telling me Taylor and Todd had been together for the whole time Todd and I had been. I was devastated. I was kind of in a state of numbness. I didn't know what to say or do. Taylor's roommate and I continued to talk and she sent me a picture that was a text conversation from Todd and Taylor... Todd proceed to tell Taylor, me and him were just friends and that we had done nothing, which was a compete lie. I knew then, this was over. I texted Todd and he didn't deny anything, but he also didn't admit to anything. He then proceeded to block my number and he blocked me on Facebook which I thought was kind of childish for a 20 year old.

I wish I had listened to what my gut was telling me because this was the second time this has happened in a row. You think I would learn the first time? I did not, but I'm certainly wishing I did right now. I think all I am trying to say or get across from this, is please please make sure the person you are talking to or plan on dating isn't going to get in the way of you being happy and if you have a gut feeling of something bad happening trust it. Do not end up in a point where you aren't happy. It sucks, take it from someone who knows what it feels like.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
